4:59PM: Renaud Lavoie of RDS said that today’s talks were going at a different pace than yesterday “Talks are more off than on this afternoon. Both sides were in the same room for 10 minutes before owners went back in caucus.”

Aaron Ward confirms that the NHLPA made a new proposal to the owners.

Nick Cotsonika tweets “Players are waiting for NHL to respond to proposal. This presumably will tell them how far owners are really willing to bend.”

He adds “Realistic hope is that owners counter and this continues.”

Bruce Garrioch says “This proposal by the union will determine where this goes. If the NHLPA doesn’t deliver what it said it would verbally then talks off rails.”
